Thomas J. Davies (October 14, 1896 – February 29, 1972) was an American football player and coach.

[1] Davies enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh where he played four seasons (1918–1921) of football under coach Glenn Scobey "Pop" Warner.

Davies helped Pitt to an undefeated season and a national championship in 1918,[3] as he led the team in rushing, passing and receiving.

[2] After watching Davies run back a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown in 1918, one writer noted:"When Brother Tom Davies caught the kickoff on the ten-yard line at Franklin Field in Philadelphia one Saturday in November, we saw the prettiest piece of open field work not off at an angle, Tommie ran the length since the days of Jim Thorpe.

[2][4] Also in 1920, he led Pitt to a 35–0 win over Syracuse, as he rushed for 255 yards and scored 16 points in only three quarters of play.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that Davies was so affected by the demonstration that he stammered only a few words of appreciation and left the hall saying, "I'm going to phone my mother and tell her all about it.

[1] After graduating from Pitt, Davies began a long career as a college football coach.

The versatile Davies, who raised havoc with a number of Penn elevens in recent years, will instruct in forward passing, punting and straight arming, and will also help Tom McNamara with the scrubs.

After leaving Rochester, he spent one season as a coach at Carnegie Tech and another at Kiski Prep School.

[8] Davies served seven years as head coach at Western Reserve, although there was no team from 1943 to 1945 due to World War II, but was discharged in October 1947 by the University Board of Athletics.

[12] After permanently retiring from football in 1947, Davies returned to the insurance business in the Pittsburgh area.
